Targeted Fat Reduction Injections for a Defined Jawline

Stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet or exercise can be frustrating. I use targeted deoxycholic acid injections to contour areas like the double chin, helping you achieve a sharper profile without surgery.

For those stubborn pockets of fat under the chin that resist diet and exercise, fat-dissolving injections containing deoxycholic acid are an effective solution. The injections break down fat cells over a few weeks. It is important to have realistic expectations; this is for contouring small areas, not weight loss, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key to long-lasting results.

About Targeted Fat Reduction Injections

These injections are not a weight loss solution, but a precise tool for body contouring. You should expect significant swelling for three to seven days after the procedure as the product works to dissolve fat cells. It is a commitment—usually requiring two to four sessions—but it is a practical way to treat that stubborn double chin or jowl fat that exercise simply cannot reach.

How the Treatment Works

The injections use deoxycholic acid, a substance that naturally breaks down dietary fat. When injected into specific areas like the submental fat under your chin or jowl pockets, it disrupts the fat cell membranes. Over the next few weeks, your body naturally processes and eliminates these damaged cells.

What to Expect

  • Consultation & Assessment: We start with a grid marking of the area to ensure safety and precision. The procedure is quick, but it does require careful planning to avoid surrounding nerves.
  • Sessions: This is rarely a one-time fix. Most clients need between two and four sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to see optimal contouring.
  • Recovery: Because the process involves inflammation to break down the fat, swelling is normal and expected for about a week. You should plan your schedule accordingly.

My Approach to Safety

I do not believe in overdoing any procedure. Safety comes first. I personally administer every injection using strict protocols—numbing cream for comfort and precise micro-injections to ensure the product stays exactly where it is needed.

The Reality of Maintenance

I am always honest with my patients: this is not a permanent fix if lifestyle habits do not change. If you do not maintain a stable weight through diet and exercise, those fat cells can eventually return. This is an enhancement for your features, not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle. If you are ready for a refreshed look, let us talk through your specific goals at my clinics in Juhu or Worli.
